Cute Little Monsters!

I posted the green monster that I made earlier. I loved how it turned out so I made more in different colors!! I left some of them blank inside and others have the sentiment shown below. Don't they make you smile?

Rainbow Birthday

I really enjoyed making rainbow cards! Here I used the rainbow strips in a vertical card. I added some crystal effects to the word "Bright" for some added interest. I really lo e how these turned out. I made a few with different colors and I changed up the curve.

Black and White Thank yous

I have been adding some cards to my inventory of cards for craft shows. I wanted to add some Thank you cards so I came up with these cute but simple cards. I made 2 styles.

 

And added this sentiment inside.

Gotta Catch 'em all!

In an effort to add more kids cards to my inventory I made these. I confirmed with my son on the accuracy of the pokeball. And he came up with the layout. Then I made the cards. These came out pretty good!  My son and I still play Pokemon Go even if it is an "old" game!! We would go out of the way to hit Pokestops when I drove him back and forth to school after his dislocated kneecap.  Fun times!! The Pokestops, not the knee injury! 🙂

Fairy notebooks

I actually found this in my drafts folder along with another post that I never posted! Oops!

These were mini notebooks I made for a craft show. They were a huge hit and sold out pretty quickly! I need to make some more! The background was done with ink blending and stamps then I added some sparkle with some FSJ silks. The fairy is a die which I actually altered to fit onto the notebook. I loved how these turned out!

Rainbow Card #3

Okay I promise this is the last of the rainbow cards, at least for now! This time I made them into Birthday cards.

I added some crystal effects to the word "Bright" just for some interest. 

 Here are some additional color combinations I made. Like I said these are a lot of fun to make! And it is fun to mix up the color orders and combinations as well as use the dies at different angles.

Rainbow cards Version 2

I really did have fun with the rainbow card from yesterday! I had gotten carried away trimming all of my scraps so I decided to make more rainbow cards! These pictures didnt come out the greatest as I took them in the middle of the night and the light just wasnt cooperating. Plus in retrospect, I shouldnt have used a pink background but...it is too late now! I again heat embossed the sentiment and colored it with my copics. I used different color combinations and I experimented more with the angle of the curve. Like I said these rainbow cards are fun!!

Rainbow cards

Here is another Pinterest inspired card. This was my first take but I thought it was too much white.

So I went back and added a little heart which I punched and then added UTTE to make it shiny and then added it to the card using pop dots. I had a lot of fun with these cards! And I loved that I could use up a bunch of my scraps! Here are the different color combinations I ended up with.

Building Blocks

What kid doesnt like Legos? I know growing up we had a TON of Legos that my brother and I would build with. Honestly I still like to build with Legos! Sadly since my son has been growing up in a digital age he does very little Lego building. But honestly with the price of Legos these days I couldnt afford to supply home with all of the fancy sets anyway! 

So...anywho...I saw this card a few times by different people and I always wanted to make some. I added a few extra details to make it my own. The sentiment is heat embossed and I colored it in with my Copics. There was a LOT of punching involved with these cards, but they were fun!

Another Super hero

Here is another set of super hero cards I made! Sometimes kids need to reminded that they are our superheroes whether they are going through a tough time at home or at school or if they are fighting a medical battle. I thought what better way to tell that special little one just how proud you are of them! I really enjoyed making these cards! I also made a few Birthday cards using the same layout.

Super hero #1

I have been working on building up my kid's cards for my inventory. I know there is some debate as to whether Batman is actually a superhero but....he is to me!  I used a few different super sentiments to finish off these cards. They were fun to make but took a while. I had to order the embossing folder and it took a while to arrive.
We are in the middle of the Corona Virus Pandemic. Luckily my children are home safe with me, however my husband still has to work. His job is essential as he works in the prison system.  I pray that anyone out there reading this stays healthy!
Best Wishes!

Catching up!

2019 has been a whirlwind to say the least! My son dislocated his knee and had to have surgery. He has been recovering from surgery since October. I had a health scare, that thankfully turned into nothing. My daughter got her first job at a summer camp for Cub Scouts at a camp we have gone to for years. She was gone off and on all summer. It was a very hard time for me. But I was happy when she was home. Our new, not even a year old, RV had an axle that somehow got bent. We spent almost 3 months arguing with the dealership that they needed to replace the axle and the springs that got damaged because of it. They kept claiming it wasnt their fault. In the end we finally won and they replaced it.

In between being sad that my daughter wasn't home and all the other stuff going on I have been crafting. I will try to get this blog up and going again with some of my recent projects.  Here is my most recent card which I made tonight, a cute little friendly monster! I saw similar cards on Pinterest but I made my own spin on them. He really is cute! I will be adding this little guy to my inventory.
